5.) Clarity and simplicity. Keep your posts and blog entries clear and easy to understand. Remember, web is global and expressions, idioms and acronyms don't always translate. Sometimes a little explanation goes a long way.

6.) Keyword-rich. If goal of your blog is to increase your visibility, include related keywords in title of blog. Use title as a headline to attract interest. Each item post should have a title that will attract attention but still be relevant to post. The title should be no longer than 10-12 words.

7.) Quantity matters. In order to attract attention of search engines, you will need to develop content and substance. A headline or simple sentence is not going to generate interest of readers or help with search engine ranking. Be sure to archive old blog posts to develop a large portal of similarly-themed content.

8.) Frequency. If your blog content is updated frequently, search engines will tend to spider pages at regular intervals.

9.) Spell checking and proof-reading. It only takes a few extra moments and can save you from having to make embarrassing explanations. Remember that whatever you publish on Internet can be found and archived. Think carefully about what you post before doing so.

10.) RSS. RSS will increase your blog's reach. It is important that you include your blog's content in an RSS feed to increase readership and distribution.

Most weblog audiences are small, but with time and regular updates audiences grow. Bloggers may never have more than a few hundred readers, but people who return to regularly are generally interested in what you have to say.

2much is expecting a large turnout at event, since many other dinners and parties, both private and public, are either concurrent or overlapping.

"But Saturday's wide open," Jones went on. "It's a chance for everyone coming to show to get together at least for one event. It's my big schmoozathon."

Jones and recent 2much acquisition Alain Roy, formerly of TAG Networks, are sizing up to be a formidable PR machine, according to Prince. "Since MyVirtualCard and 2much are both getting big, it's more fitting that our two companies have two big separate events."

Webmaster Access East opens for registration at 3:00pm, Thursday May 5th, at Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel. This will be followed by a Poutine and Beer orgy at local Peel Pub, organized by Gallery Traffic Service, G3X, Executive Stats and MakeFuckingMoney.
